Choreographer, actor, writer, director: Bob Fosse wore many hats—aside from the bowler that became his trademark. A live wire who galvanized musical theatre and movies alike, he won nine Tonys, three Emmys, and one Oscar—the latter for Best Director (Cabaret). The Chicago native attended dance school as a teenager and staged numbers at the burlesque houses where he emceed. Debuting on the Great White Way in January 1950, Fosse also performed on television shows a few blocks away, and through several collaborations with Stanley Donen, quickly became the entertainment industry’s most sought-after choreographer for stage and film. The leap into the director’s chair followed—though he was never one to sit still for long—and by the 1970s he had joined the front ranks of American filmmakers. Drawing upon his own life and expanding his art without filters or limits, he guided his actors to transform physically and emotionally, yielding movies (and moves) that stun and exhilarate. So snap your fingers, roll your shoulders, and get ready to be knocked back in your seat by a man whose last name became shorthand for both dynamism and dynamo.

About Me

Just as living creatures in nature evolve, so do websites. With an eye toward convergence using the many features Google offers at no cost to it's users, which are unparalleled, I am developing this site to be a multimedia experience across many platforms. My name is Mark Rivera and I do a lot more than review statues. I review films and television and I interview genre film and TV personalities both in front of and behind the cameras. I am also an Author. Along with the companion YouTube channel, this website will serve as a conduit that will unite things as they come and are practical and or are a good match. Hopefully you all will agree and enjoy as I take GenreOnline.net one step beyond the normal website and YouTube channel of this type and innovate where necessary.
